The Demoiselle was in Melbourne Australia I think for the premier of the film.

My father an Ansett Captain at the time and 6ft 1 was In the middle of a conversion course and as the aircraft was in the Ansett Hangar tried his luck and got into it. Much to his consternation couldn't get out without much assistance and mirth from his fellow pilots.
My understanding is that it was flown in Australia, by another Ansett pilot (Russ Whetherstone?) who was of quite diminutive stature.
